Inter-laboratory proficiency tests scheduled by the EU RL for 2017

Three proficiency tests will be organized by the EU RL in 2017 for the network of EU NRLs:

- A comparative laboratory test on Nosema spores counting by microscopic examination of crushed honeybee abdomens (planned in June 2017).

- An inter-laboratory proficiency test on the analysis of neonicotinoid residues in beebread.

- An inter-laboratory proficiency test on the detection and quantification of the chronic bee paralysis virus (CBPV) in bees by real-time RT-PCR. The deadline for registration to this ILPT is the 10th of November 2017.
